Tucked high on a private knoll above the Lamprey River, this exceptional waterfront retreat offers a rare blend of serenity, natural beauty, and walkable village living. Surrounded by towering hemlocks and over 300 feet of waterfront, the setting feels worlds away, yet vibrant downtown Newmarket, with its acclaimed restaurants, live music, and riverside charm, is just moments away. Paddle or motor into downtown for breakfast or lunch, explore Great Bay, or venture all the way to the Atlantic. Designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, the home captures long southerly river views from expansive windows, a screened porch, cable rail deck, and private upper balcony. Exceptionally well maintained, the residence offers warm, light-filled interiors and an ideal floor plan for one-level living including a gracious primary ensuite with adjoining reading room and 2nd bedroom. The upstairs ensuite bedroom offers privacy for guests or future potential for a spectacular expanded primary. Refinished oak flooring, a striking open stairway with glass railings, and a dramatic fieldstone wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and architectural character. The cherry kitchen with Corian countertops opens to inviting living spaces designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. Multi-zone mini-split heating and cooling, main-level laundry, standby generator, newer roof, and low-maintenance vinyl shingle siding add peace of mind. The finished lower level offers generous family and recreation rooms, abundant storage, and a finished two-car attached garage. Outdoors, beautifully crafted granite and brick stonework, retaining walls, walkways, and a bocce court create inviting spaces to gather, relax, and enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings rich with birdlife and wildlife. A rare offering where privacy, waterfront adventure, and village culture come together in one extraordinary home. Public open houses: Fri & Sat 5/1 & 2, 3-5pm.
